Salvia, Close Up

Whatever good that came out of this image was pure luck, because this plant is such a good specimen, I have to be screwing around to screw it up. (Ha!) And speaking of screwing it up, the full size is so grainy, I think you're better off going with the intermediate size, which hits the best balance between size and clarity, and, I think, brings out the best in the picture.

I want to use this moment to wish a happy birthday to Danny Walker. Most folks are so busy celebrating Christmas right now, they forget someone they know is wishing for a birthday party as their Christmas present.
